Vaginal discharge is the female reproductive systems way of cleaning and preventing infection. The fluids from the vaginal and cervix glands play a very important role in carrying away dead cells and bacteria.
The discharge can vary in color and odor and will be different depending on the time in your menstrual cycle.
There could be a number of reasons for brown vaginal discharge. To name a few:
Pregnancy
Ovulation
Menopause
Endometrial bleeding
Are you experiencing any other symptoms? If any other symptoms like itching or burning surface, that is cause for immediate concern because it's a sign of infection or other condition, so keep that in mind for future.
Anytime our body does something different (than the normal for us) it's cause for concern. Below is additional information specifically regarding brown vaginal discharge.
